We just stayed for our first visit to Costa Rica and the Manuel Antonio Estates was the best place to stay. Andreas and Julio were excellent hosts communicating with us always along our journey. They were very accommodating and knowledgeable. The other reviews are correct in that we saw more wildlife staying here than in the National Park. The monkeys were part of our entertainment every evening. The location is perfect and safe within walking distance to the town of Quepos and close driving distance to Manuel Antonio. The house has everything you need and the air conditioned bedrooms were a relief. Would definitely stay here again. We already miss Costa Rica and we just left. Until we meet again....Pura Vida.

We had an incredible stay at this villa! It is situated in the midst of rainforest, surrounded by beautiful trees, flowers and even some iguanas and butterflies. The place is beautifully decorated with 2 spacious bedrooms with king size beds and a private bathroom for each room. There's a wrap around balcony to relax and listen to the bioacoustics of the jungle. Antonio was incredibly helpful with tours, recommendations for hidden gems and best restaurants in the neighborhood. Be careful when parking. It's a very sharp turn into the driveway. The swimming pool is beautiful and comes with jets but the water was too cold for me to relax in. I'd definitely come back and stay here again!

Very nice place :) clean private. Outdoor showers where the best. Good spot away from town (wish the beaches was closer ) Overall a great stay and very safe

We were very impressed with the property overall, but more so extremely pleased with the timely and helpful communication with the staff. We always felt on top of things because of the helpful and very responsiveness of staff. We stayed at 4 different properties throughout our stay in Costa Rica and the Quepos experience was the best!

The staff stayed in constant contact with us and offered many day trip suggestions. We would highly recommend.

Great villa with everything you need in a superb jungle location, but with easy access to walk into town or to explore the local area. The villa is nestled in the jungle, so we saw practically every animal from our veranda that we saw on the guided tour in Manuel Antonio National Park! The estate management team were brilliant too. They couldn’t have been more helpful or responsive. Any minor issue (like gas bottle running out etc) was resolved in minutes and they offered great advice on travel and tours etc. Big shout out to Andrés, as he was especially helpful! THANK YOU! Pura Vida!

If you are wanting a house in the jungle with LOTS of wildlife to see without ever having to leave your balcony- this is your place. My husband and I stayed here with our two kids (10 & 15). They shared a room and we shared a room and it was exactly what we needed. The kitchen was nicely stocked, all appliances in working order, cable TV in main area and both bedrooms that was easily changed to English with a click of the remote. Our rooms were ice cold. Pretty sure the a/c works better than ours at home! We did not rent a car, but the walk down to the town to get drinks, food, souvenirs, etc was a short easy walk. The walk back up the hill to the house is a bit of a workout, but I honestly needed the exercise after eating and drinking at all the great sodas! We loved our little pool and enjoyed jumping into it after a long day of hiking. We easily walked to the town everyday and down to the marina to watch the beautiful sunset. It was a great way to end your day. We came to Costa Rica to do something different. We love animals and we love the beach. We got both of those things here. We had scarlet macaws that flew over (usually twice or three times a day), a troop of squirrel monkeys (about 15 of them) a smaller tribe of capuchins that came everyday and sometimes twice, three iguanas that live at the house and climbed the same trees to the same spot everyday, all sorts of frogs, geckos, and a sweet little bat that lives by the door during the day. We named him Emilio😀 Most importantly, the customer service at Manuel Antonio Estates was UNBEATABLE! They went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of, including getting us our airport transportation taken care of, making personally calling tour businesses for information for us, and even scheduling maintenance and cleaning around our schedule. I seriously cannot say enough about the staff there. We go out of the country once a year and use VRBO a couple times throughout the year while in the states- no one has compared to the personal care we got with these guys. A+ Thank you for such amazing memories!

Loved everything about this property and the management was outstanding. Always willing to help and ready to answer any questions

A beautiful little house in Quepos! Andres and Dorit were quick to communicate, and respond to any questions or requests. Can't recommend enough!

We stayed at this beautiful place for a month. It was our first time to visit Costa Rica and we were a bit concerned about going during rainy season; however, we had no problems. We enjoyed the rain at nights (although it is a bit loud at times), and beautiful sunny days. It is such a great experience to wake up to the sound of birds, monkeys, rain drops etc. and to be surrounded by the green forest. The place is walking distance to downtown Quepos, grocery stores, restaurants, the marina, etc. and to the opposite side it is about 10 min. drive to the beach and more restaurants! all easy access. The rental process was great without issues; management was also great, they are very quick to respond and resolve any problems. Internet service is excellent. We lost power once in half of the house, but reported to management and it was fixed within the hour. Cleaning service is good. I would definitely rent this place again.

My family had a fantastic stay at this property. Beautifully located just inside the forest and the side of a steep hill. Woke up every morning with my wife to enjoy a cup of coffee on the large balcony before our son got up. Enjoyed hearing and seeing the surrounding wildlife (mostly birds, monkeys and lizards). The pool was a nice relief after a hot afternoon. There is also a rugged trial to a secluded waterfall that we would highly recommend. The accommodations were modern, clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is also a short 10-minute walk to downtown Quepos. Overall, it was perfect. We’d stay here again.

The property is very well kept and clean. We were grateful there was a carport and covered steps which kept us dry as we arrived in a rains storm. Andres gave us a lot of good recommendations of restaurants, where to see wildlife, directed us to the on-property waterfall. From the large balcony, we saw many different butterflies, monkeys, Scarlet McCaws, frogs, and hummingbirds. Many night sounds that had us wondering what was making the sounds. Wonderful relaxing experience.

The house is nestled in a jungle atmosphere. It was fun getting up in the morning to a couple of Macaws squawking just outside the porch area and at night watching the monkeys coming by for a visit. And the bedrooms have air-conditioning. We would definitely go back.

Enjoyable stay in Casa Cascada. The house was nice and clean, check-in was easy. Great communication with management. House is in a gated community, with security 24hrs, so definitely felt safe. Only negative, was that living area was fairly hot even with windows open since there was not much air flow or breeze. Would stay here again if in the area.

Close enough to Quepos to walk in to town for dinner etc and far enough away that it’s fairly quiet. The house was great for my wife and I and our 2 young kids. Very comfortable. Saw and heard plenty of wildlife. From monkeys to macaws.

Wow, Casa Cascada truly is a gem, set right in the jungle! We walked in and opened the wall to wall balcony sliding doors and a group of squirrel monkeys came to greet us on the wrap around deck. Our kids enjoyed the small private pool each day and we saw more wildlife from the deck of the house than we did on a guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. Since the house is literally in a jungle, you will be sharing the outside with lizards, monkeys, macaws, cicadas, agoutis, etc. You will hear all of the animals waking up each morning (if you are expecting a silent night of sleep well into the morning, you should look elsewhere!). The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked perfectly, and cooled them off for sleeping very quickly. Evenings were spent with our feet up outside on the deck, listening to the sounds of the wildlife. Dorit and Andres were incredible hosts who helped us so much by answering our questions quickly and even helped us book an extra night at one of their other properties last minute. The location is incredible, inside a gated community which is literally just minutes of walking to downtown Quepos, but still surrounded by the forest. Cascada was a dream come true!

Fantastic! Jungle view right out of the window including monkeys, birds, and iguanas. The villa faced so there was total privacy. The kitchen, bedrooms, and baths were everything you could ask for.

Everything about this property is amazing. Lush and green with monkeys and sloths hanging out in the trees right by the balcony. Every modern amenity you could possibly need. Attentive, honest and super helpful property managers. The peace of mind that comes with it being in a gated community is an extra amazing benefit! We’ll never stay anywhere else! Recommend 10 out of 10 every time!

The house is nice, good ac, well equipped kitchen and bbq, nice bathrooms, big rooms, tv. The pool is small and in the garage, we didn't really use it. Maid service didn't come one day. Watch out for the monkeys.

This two bedroom, two bath property is in a nice location just outside of the main town and close to Manuel Antonio national park. It sits up in the hills in a gated community and has a private feel, with a balcony view of treetops filled with monkeys.

Highly Recommend!! Property looked exactly as advertised and is very well maintained. Dorit and Sarah at Manuel Antonio Estates were extremely helpful, courteous, respectful, and willing to assist with any of my questions (Thank you Dorit and Sarah!!) I really appreciate everything and providing me with a great and enjoyable time full of R&R, excellent trips (Thank you for booking), great maid service (includes laundry!!), and I will recommend staying there to all of my Family and Friends!!
